Francine's Story

Sex: Female Breed: Pitbull terrier/Husky x Estimated Date of Birth : 06/30/2023 Majestic, beautiful, kind, resilient all words we'd use to describe the incredible Francine! She's everything you want in a dog and more. She's lived and preserved through things that should have crumbled her. Yet through it all she remains a gentle soul who loves snuggles, people and her canine friends. She is the epitome of motherhood and her strength and dedication inspire us all. We don't know Francine's past, where she came from or even how she found herself pregnant and abandoned but this momma did what she had to do to keep her babies safe. 8 babies all alive, healthy and thriving because of her. She was originally noticed by a Good Samaritan along the stretch of road where that Good Samaritan fed discarded dogs. Francine had chosen an abandoned house in an orchard to have her babies and keep them safe. The Good Samaritan started networking for rescue and Francine was trapped by animal control. When the Good Samaritan realized the babies had been left behind they went under the house to rescue them. Once everyone was safe a plan was put into place to reunite Francine with her babies. An amazing foster stepped up and took the whole family and continued networking for rescue. We saw the pleas for help and gave them the rescue backing they so desperately needed. Francine has never looked back. She and her babies have thrived in foster care and now that her mothering duties are complete it's time for this sweet girl to find her forever home. Francine is dog friendly and would do best with other large dogs. Shes great on leash, loves treats and has learned basic manners. She's cautious when meeting new people, who wouldn't be after what she's been through, but warms up quickly. She LOVES to be pet and snuggle in with her humans and is truly cherishing being part of a family in a home. Francine gave so much to ensure her puppies were safe and cared for and now it's our turn to find her the perfect home. If you think you are the perfect home for her please apply.

Marley's Mutts Dog Rescue's Adoption Policy

Every dog that comes through Marley's Mutts lives in our facility where people can visit and meet multiple dogs. Each dog will be introduced on our Facebook page when it arrives and will then have his or her own profile created and put up on our website. The length of time between when the dog arrives and when it is put up on the website varies. Puppies are not typically listed on the website until a few weeks prior to adoption (8 weeks of age). All our dogs will also be spayed or neutered prior to being adopted. They will be micro-chipped and up to date on their shots. Dogs that have behavior or health issues may not be listed on the website for an extended period of time. Healthy, well-behaved dogs typically will be put on the website within one week of arriving at the ranch or foster home. During that week we are constantly assessing the dog's temperament. We need time to be able to determine the dog's quirks and what type of permanent home will be ideal for the dog. Each of our dogs will have his or her own application to complete. Please refrain from applying for a dog and intending the application for another dog not yet listed. When the dog that you are interested in has a bio posted on this website, please fill out the application thoroughly. Answer any and all applicable questions and tell us why your home would be the best place for this pup to go. Once your application has been submitted, please be patient. You will receive an automated email confirming it was received. If your application was selected as a potential adopter, we will notify you and begin the approval process. We will talk to your family over the phone, get clarification on any questions we may have and will also answer any of your questions. Not all dogs have the same needs, so we don't have a generalized "standard home" in mind. We highly recommend bringing residents dogs for a meet and greet. We do not ship or transport our dogs without observing an introduction. Adopters from out of town are absolutely encouraged to adopt from us but will need to make the road trip to California to meet the dog, and most likely take it back home with you that same day, if all goes well. If you're not sure which dog would be the best fit, email us and we can help guide you in the right direction. If your application is not selected, we don't think any less of you or your home. Most likely we had eight out of ten amazing options and yours just unfortunately wasn't the one we picked. Please stay in touch with us and let us help you find the perfect addition to your family. We will notify you if the dog is currently pending adoption and then again when the dog is adopted. You can also follow our Facebook page for updates on the dog you're interested in. Once that pup has joined your family don't ever hesitate to reach out to us. Training questions, medication questions and anything in between are encouraged. We thank you for coming to Marley's Mutts to adopt your next dog. We think very highly of our dogs and enjoy sharing them with the world. For specific questions, please contact Marsha Gebhart, our Adoption Coordinator: mgebhart@marleysmutts.org
